New Clients
Steps to Recovery:
Start with a brief phone/Zoom conversation to see if Becky's approach is a match for you… if yes, set up a formal one-hour Screening appointment. All appointments can be scheduled through Zoom.us, FaceTime or phone.
Foundation Package – 4 One-Hour Sessions
Screening
Intake
Personal Menu Planning
Relapse Prevention Planning
The Foundation Package sessions are scheduled as soon as possible, all in one week if possible.
Continuing support is done in half-hour sessions. Upon completing the initial Foundation Package, we start with 2 half-hour sessions a week offering support during the detoxing and stabilizing stage of abstinence from the eating addiction.
After a few months of abstinence, the sessions can be reduced to one half-hour a week. We begin to address the deeper work of recovery, where the focus will be on healing body image issues, breaking dependencies on the eating addiction and adopting new ways of living. Also, the option to join a virtual group becomes available.
Fees:
$150 per hour / $75 per half-hour
At the end of the required Screening, if the client decides to continue, a Foundation Package can be purchased. When paid in advance, a 15% discount can be applied, bringing the fee for the Foundation Package to $510.00. We then attempt to schedule the additional Foundation sessions as quickly as possible.
After the Foundation Sessions are complete, you can take advantage of even bigger discounts by an advance purchase of individual sessions. A 20% discount can be utilized by purchasing a package of 5 half-hour sessions for $300.00 or a package of 10 half-hour sessions for $563.00 to reflect a 25% discount.
Participants often combine Becky's services with therapy, nutrition counseling, and participation in 12-Step programs.
Returning Clients
If the returning client is in relapse, we would go through the Screening handout again, repeat two sessions of the Foundation that covers update on their life, pack of 7 handouts to review and individual Menu Planning. We look at what foundation information needs to be reinforced for establishing stable abstinence and recovery. Together, we decide if, or when, placement in an ongoing group is appropriate.
Since shame is an overwhelming and toxic emotion in relapsing, it’s critical that we begin to lift that energy and return the client to a safe, supportive environment.
If the returning client is abstinent, we discuss whether their recovery needs are for some individual sessions or a for membership in one of the ongoing groups.
Becky Jackson offers the most profound, most illuminating approach to addictive eating that I've ever seen. It's practical rather than theoretical. The problem is compulsive eating and Becky presents the solution. I've read so many books, had so much therapy, been on every diet. It is through Becky's work that I am learning that it is possible to live in the real world, with real food, real situations and still have stable abstinence and freedom from the pain of this devastating addiction...forever.
